Avalanche Chasing Return to Winning Form

There have been few more eye-catching teams in the NHL so far this season than the Colorado Avalanche.

Colorado sit top of the Central Division standings, winning nine of their last ten. However, they will be looking to pick themselves up on Saturday following a shootout loss against the Minnesota Wild on Friday.

Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog scored the goals in the defeat. However, there would be few surprises to see them bounce back on Saturday.
